The bad news? Stroke (1 in 6) and heart disease (1 in 4) account for many deaths in the U.S. every year.

The good news? You really can do something about it.

Penn's Village hosted an interactive discussion with Karimma Owens, the Stroke Program Coordinator at Penn Presbyterian. She covered important topics like how to recognize if you or a loved one is having a stroke or heart attack, the risk factors associated with both, and the lifestyle changes you can make to improve your cardiovascular health.
